Epoxy coating & waterproofing in Jeddah: cost & published offers
In short: Epoxy coating & waterproofing (cost & published offers) in Jeddah starts with the moisture meter for ceilings and walls, then the thickness measurement at spread-out points, before anything is opened. The centre of Jeddah sits about 15 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data). Published price: Epoxy coating (per m²), SAR 35–95 per m²; anything else is quoted after the inspection.
Why epoxy coating & waterproofing differs in Jeddah
Team note on Jeddah: Kashf teams serve this city and its nearby districts with the same documented inspection standard: device-based leak detection without demolition, a written report, and a clear scope before any work begins.. The centre of Jeddah sits about 15 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).
Jeddah is about 2 km from the sea coast (OpenStreetMap).
Before any price is quoted for epoxy coating or waterproofing in Jeddah, the first thing to check is location, because it changes the risk. The centre of Jeddah sits about 15 m above sea level according to SRTM open elevation data, and the city is about 2 km from the sea coast according to OpenStreetMap. Those two facts matter because a site close to the coast and low-lying ground tends to see more moisture moving through walls, slabs and basements, so the technician checks how water is likely to reach the surface before choosing a system. The published ranges show how far prices can move with the type of work: basement waterproofing runs SAR 55–160 per m², bathroom waterproofing SAR 15–40 per m², and epoxy coating SAR 35–95 per m².
Several things are left to the site visit, because they cannot be judged from a listing. The technician looks at the actual substrate, whether it is concrete, screed or tile, and whether it is dry, sound and free of old coatings that would stop a new layer bonding. The area is measured on site, and any cracks are mapped, since crack injection is priced separately at SAR 40–125 per metre. The check also covers drainage, slopes, tank or roof access, and whether the work can be done without disrupting the people using the space. The chosen method, whether spray foam at SAR 20–45 per m², liquid roof waterproofing at SAR 10–25 per m², bitumen membrane at SAR 15–35 per m² or XPS boards at SAR 15–30 per m², depends on what the visit finds rather than on a fixed rule.
Information that helps the technician is worth gathering before the visit. Note the building's age, any past leaks and where they appeared, and whether the space is a basement, bathroom, roof or water tank, since tank internal coating is priced at SAR 25–65 per m². Photographs of damp patches and cracks, plus rough room or roof dimensions, let the technician plan materials and labour more accurately. Tell the technician whether the area will be used for water storage, foot traffic or parking, because that affects the coating chosen. Finally, confirm access times and any building rules that apply, so the work can be scheduled with as little disruption as possible.

Signs worth paying attention to
The following signs are worth checking before they grow:
- Oil stains on a floor
- A tank that needs an easy-to-clean surface
- A warehouse floor that is wearing away
Causes we see in the field
- Insufficient preparation.
- A damp surface that ruins adhesion — we check this before anything else.
Tools we use in Jeddah
| Method | What it helps with | Its role in Jeddah |
|---|---|---|
| Moisture meter for ceilings and walls | Where water is entering now, from inside | Limits: measures the effect, not the water path |
| Thickness measurement at spread-out points | Whether the thickness in the quote was achieved | Limits: for foam and liquid-applied layers |
| Fill test with level monitoring | Whether a tank coating holds after the work | Limits: takes time to monitor the level |
From the first visit to the report
- Surface moisture reading: Epoxy is applied only when the substrate is dry enough.
- Careful preparation: Grinding and cleaning for adhesion.
- Layers: Primer and body coats as specified.
- Inspection: Thickness and curing are checked.

Common questions about epoxy coating & waterproofing in Jeddah
Can I use household chemicals instead of calling a technician?
Using unsuitable chemicals may corrode pipes and does not fix the root cause of the blockage, so it is better to rely on a specialist technician.
What is the difference between foam insulation and other types of insulation?
Foam insulation is easy to apply on uneven surfaces and forms one continuous layer with no joints, while other types, such as bitumen rolls, need the joints to be welded. The contractor decides which is most suitable after inspecting the site.
Can thermal insulation be applied to an existing building?
Yes, thermal insulation can be installed on the roofs and walls of existing buildings without the need for major structural modifications. The contractor prepares the surface, then applies the insulating material and the protective layer over it.
Where does epoxy coating & waterproofing (cost & published offers) start in Jeddah?
We start with surface moisture reading (epoxy is applied only when the substrate is dry enough), then careful preparation (grinding and cleaning for adhesion).
What does epoxy coating & waterproofing cost in Jeddah?
From our published price list: Epoxy coating (per m²) SAR 35–95 per m². Quantities are confirmed at the inspection.
What do I receive after the work?
The epoxy system, thickness and curing time, in a technical report that carries a verification code.

If you live in Jeddah and are new to the area
- You can message us on WhatsApp in English; the booking details are sent back to you in the chat to confirm before the visit.
- The Saudi weekend is Friday and Saturday; mention your preferred day and time when booking.
- Prices are in Saudi riyals (SAR); the final price is confirmed after the inspection, before any work starts.
- Have access ready to the water meter, the tank hatches, the roof and the main valve; in apartment buildings the roof keys are often with the building guard (haris).
